Here’s a quick summary and comparison of the FIVe3D display classes. Hopefully this will help tide a few people over until Mathieu releases the real documentation (which will certainly be much more exhaustive than my little effort).
I can’t seem to get enough of this FIVe3D thing. It’s even becoming natural to capitalize every letter except for that “e” when I write it. Not that I’m blinded to its faults, for there are a few here and there. But for quick 3D text rendering, I have yet to find its equal. Take today’s experiment, for example.
After some diligent research, I have compiled a list of things that impress me about Mathieu Badimon. He lives in Paris. He speaks at least two languages (that is, I assume he speaks French as well as English.) He has had at least one website on The Flash Website Awards. He apparently seems to understand exactly what the Flash community needs in a 3D engine.
